Over the weekend, several Twitter users had reported the website of Amazon U.K. after seeing racial comments from a user on the Apple Airpods listings page. Interestingly, the said comments were not deleted right away by the online store. This caused controversy between the customers that had seen the discriminatory words and the fact that they don't know how long these racist posts were flashed on the page before Amazon deleted it.

Racism is now one of the most-talked-about issues in the United States over the story of the Black man George Floyd's death circulated online.
Law enforcement has been in total lockdown on Minneapolis, Minnesota to control the extreme violence that is still happening right now on the state.
Shots fire, looting of stores, and multiple injuries were already reported. The issue of racial discrimination was also heightened during the event. Even the U.S. Pres. Donald Trump was bashed online for posting phrases like "when looting starts, shooting starts."
Some Twitter users connected this issue to this past event.
